House of Dub Monthly VW meet,

Well it looks as though Spring has finally arrived in the UK, OK it's not quite summer just yet but at least it appears as though the rainy season has gone. That can only be good news for the numerous VW shows and club meets that have been planned for this year. One such VW club meet is the House of Dub monthly VW meet. The house of Dub have a new venue for the foreseeable future, and as I have not been to this new location before and as it had been a nice day I decided to venture over to the neighbouring county of Bedfordshire to see some old friends.

The entrance into the Globe Inn, in Linslade looked promising.

Canal side bar and restaurant, on a lovely spring evening what could be a better location for a club meet.

Ben left his split screen at home and came inhis lovely T5 in brilliant white.

I was very impressed with this T5, I would likeone of these, but that would mean getting ridof my bay.. and that isn't going to happen.

Ben has already started to modify the interiorto his own taste. He has fitted some white LED down lights and also this lovely blue LEDstrip down the centre of the interior.

Zoe, who runs the House of Dub club camein her newly acquired convertible Beetle.

A new member who came down for the firsttime was Phil and his son Nathan, and theirnewly acquired beetle. Nice to meet you Phil,and Nathan hopefully see you both again.

Phil was saying that he recently bought thisBug, and was having a few teething problems. At the moment he said he had a love / haterelationship with it, don't worry Phil we all haveteething problems.. after all it is a VW.

Andrew came down in his Buggy after an 18month rebuild. It does look and sound very nice.

Andrew was saying that he was thinking aboutgetting a tonneau cover in the future, maybea wise choice in the UK.

Really nice colour a sort of purple metal flake.

Interior is purely functional.

Lovely looking rear end. When Adrian startedhis buggy to leave, the exhaust was so loud itset off the alarm on Richard's Polo parkednext to him.!

Elliott arrived in his lovely cherry red Beetle, which looked as clean as always. My bay inthe background, looking not quite as shiny as Elliot's Bug.

Lovely straight, clean Bug in cherry red.

I do like Elliot's wheels, I think they suit thestyle of his Beetle perfectly.

Mark also came down in his lime green T5.This van seems to appear on my blog morethan my Bay.!

But it's ok, I never get tired on seeing Mark orhis T5. I did hear a rumour that it may befeatured in a magazine soon? Watch this space...

Richard came in his lowered Polo, I think thiswas probably the lowest vehicle at the meet last night.

This really is a cool looking car.

Another regular at the H.o.D club meets wasMark who came down in his bay window.

Mark has so many accessories / stickers onhis bay, it would take most of the night to seeeverything, but that's what makes this baystand out.

Spike came down in the official House of Dub company car. As you would expect from a guy that works on VW's all day, this isn't your average company car!

Lowered as only Spike can do... very low.

Gavin also came down in his new Caddy which looked really nice.

Sophie arrived after I had left in her VW UP.Thanks to Zoe for taking a photo and sendingit to me.So that was the House of Dub club meet, this was the first time I have been over to theirmeet since October last year. It was great tocatch up with old mates and to meet the newmembers and their vehicles. See you all nextmonth guy's.
